Jenna and Al’s Budget, Jeff’s Court Case, Daniel’s Tear Ducts

By Alison Rosen on July 14, 2021 in podcast

Jenna Kim Jones and #AL are here and Jenna is due in 3.5 weeks! Jeff Fox is here, but disguised, and he’s still riding high from his labor intensive but successful court victory. Daniel is fresh from the eye doctor and they put plugs in his tear ducts. It makes me want to barf. Tony relates to Daniel’s duct struggle. Also, we do a drop-off with Betsy Sodaro and Greg Heller drops. I want to know if everyone has a budget and how detailed it should be. Plus Just Me Or Everyone and so much more.

Matt Logelin

By Alison Rosen on July 4, 2021 in podcast, Uncategorized

Matt Logelin and his wife Liz were high school sweethearts. They bought a house, she got pregnant with their first child and they planned to live happily ever after. The pregnancy was complicated but their daughter was born and she was healthy. But then 27 hours after giving birth, as she was getting ready to meet the baby she hadn’t yet held, Liz died of a pulmonary embolism. This is the subject of Matt’s memoir, Two Kisses for Maddy, which has been turned into Fatherhood, the number one Netflix movie at the time this episode airs. Kevin Hart plays Matt. Obama has tweeted about the movie. (His production company helped bring it to the screen.) Matt stopped by the show to talk about the differences between the movie and real life, his mixed feelings about writing the book, the process of turning the book into a movie, grief, the Liz Logelin Foundation, falling in love again (he is married to Bob’s Burgers writer, Great North co-creator and ARIYNBF guest Lizzie Molyneux), whether Tony seems violent, the odd life of a successful blogger, guesting on Oprah and Rachael Ray and so much more.

By Alison Rosen on June 23, 2021 in podcast, Uncategorized

Tim Kalpakis is here in the flesh! Previously I’d only known him as a face on a computer! Jackie Johnson is also here and she’ll stick to the melody, thank you very much. Tony is accidentally high, which is somewhat of a tradition on this show. We celebrate Bo Honkus Jones, do a round of Just Me Or Everyone and discuss a comment that is stuck in my craw.
